I'm having trouble understanding the use case for this. I can't remember ever using a QR code as a way to verify the authenticity of something. It's always been something like "here's a link to my website" or "here's a movie ticket that's scannable in a physical theater". So what is this solving?
So here is how it works currently:
Step 1: You sign in with you wallet (this is not stored anywhere and you will have to sign in each time) Step 2: Enter any data you want to have recorded on the ETH blockchain (my example is a url) Step 3: Click generate and confirm the transaction Step 4: wait a few seconds. I find most QR codes generate in under 30 seconds Step 5: Save your QR code
To validate, simply point your phone camera at the QR code and scan it. This will open up the validation page and show you if the QR code is valid or not. It will also show how many times the code has been scanned and the Etherscan link
Why is this necessary? Traditional QR codes can be easily copied or faked. If someone counterfeits your product, they can just copy the QR code. There's no way to prove which one is authentic. ProofQR provides a way to make sure your data is secure and protected on the ETH blockchain.
What I need from you is feedback. I want ideas on how to make this better and potential additions to add. Any and all feedback is wanted.
Thank you for viewing my post. Stay tuned for future updates!
